04:58 Pillars & Purlins
08:40 Brushed Wood
14:12 Hand Made Wooden Nails

Did you let the beams dry before installing them?
No, not really. I felled the pine (for the headbands and the large uprights of the bridge) a year before installation, in a very cold winter and when the moon was waning, i.e. so-called moon wood.
Everything else was made from standing dead wood (spruce) - in other words, comparatively dry material.

Why at 7:12 the purlins are not sawn straight, 90 °?
It would be impossible to put them together. But with a little angle, i took 3cm on 24 cm hight, the just jump in, nearly from alone like shown in 12:06

Is there still snow in your garden?
No, only in some shady forests, there are the last spots slowly melting. Since about one week summer came and we are now working bare foot ;-)
